We like:
GPS; Wi-Fi; HSDPA
We don't like:
Keypad is too flat; camera lacks flash
CNET.co.uk judgement:
A flat keypad that's fiddly to use takes away from what is otherwise a good phone. Considering MWg is still testing the smart phone waters, it has to be congratulated for getting this far with the Zinc II, but we hope more attention is paid to usability in the future
